2x Everest in elevation, 100 Miles and if you don't do it within a time limit you lose. Only 20 people have ever succeeded in 38 years. I love it.
It's like someone heard a brief outline for a Monty Python sketch and said "let's do it!"
Well done and also what a nutter!

Absolutely insane the limits the human body can be pushed to and I get back pain for a week if I sleep funny.
the description of the race got wilder and wilder every time I scrolled down.
I went through a very brief period of considering a marathon (most I’ve done is a half and it took me two and a half hours so I’m very much not the fastest) and eventually realised it’d be too much for me in terms of training. I’m glad I’d never be tempted to do something like this but very impressed with anyone who completes it successfully!
